Chapter 19 (2/2)

“I’m fine!”

Gu Zheng immediately returned to reality. He turned to face Shu Yu, and quietly spoke: “Shu Yu, sorry, only when eating it for the first time will it feel extremely delicious. So, I can only sell one per person. Sorry, I really am sorry!”

After finis.h.i.+ng, Gu Zheng hung his head low. He used their shop, and sold the eggs for money, and now he no longer sold it. Gu Zheng usually had a thick skin, however now he was truly embarra.s.sed.

“Seriously?”

Shu Yu’s eyes were wide, she couldn’t believe it. Gu Zheng quickly nodded his head, and had yet to raise it.

“Alright, I don’t want it. You.. it’s fine. Selling comes first!”

Shu Yu had numerous things she wanted to say to Gu Zheng, but in the end she said nothing. IN fact,s he wanted to question his reason for doing. At the beginning of the creation of a delicacy, not many people would be able to taste it. Delicacies were usually from a hundred years ago, or even more. Many had attested to the fact that the olden delicacies were far better.

From her perspective, Gu Zheng’s fried eggs were simple, however, the taste was even stronger than those famous and ancient recipes. Not to mention just the second one, even eating two hundred of them wouldn’t be able to make one get sick of it. Gu Zheng had said this, however most likely he had his own reasons.

This was a restaurant, a public s.p.a.ce. It wasn’t just the two of them, but there were other employees and diners. Shu Yu was able to hold back her curiosity as she felt she could wait until there was no one else around before asking.

Shu Yu was from a wealthy family and was raised well, so she understood proper mannerisms. Essentially, even though she was curious, she would not publicly question Gu Zheng and put him in a difficult position

“Thank you for understanding!”

Gu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. It wasn’t that he felt hot, but he was inwardly panicking. If Shu Yu really asked him about it, he didn’t know how he would explained it. He knew the real reason seemed too far fetched.

“Make sure to explain that the shop’s 88 RMB fried egg is limited to one per person. However, the 2 and 5 RMB’s aren’t limited.

After Shu Yu spoke, the waiter hurried off. Shu Yu was quite young, however, she was still the boss after all. The store’s staff were all personally recruited by her. The salaries and bonuses were up to 30 % better than other similar stores. Furthermore, Shu Yu managed professionally, thus all the staff had a lot of respect for her.

Shu Yu’s generous and understanding att.i.tude eased Gu Zheng’s embarra.s.sment. However, Gu Zheng felt his grat.i.tude to Shu Yu grow heavier. This time, he truly had a debt to pay.

“Is this fried egg really that delicious? You aren’t filming right? There isn’t a camera around here?

THe other customers had left, leaving only a single diner who was eating a bowl of wonton. There were only two left on the bottom. He was a long time customer who came every day to eat a bowl of wonton. He had brought in quite a few customers for Shu Yu.

While speaking, he glanced around the room. In his eyes, both he price of the fried eggs and Shu Yu’s reaction were abnormal. He didn’t doubt the fact that the two were putting on a play for others. A fried egg wasn’t that important. He thought maybe the two of them were shooting a movie and that both were actors.

Shu Yu was surprised and replied: “Sir, that wasn’t an act, the fried egg was truly delicious!”

Even though the customer thought they were filing, since she had replied, she would be a fool if she lied. Furthermore he had seen Gu Zheng make the fried egg and he thought her reaction to the fried egg was suspicious. Just suspecting that they were acting was a somewhat favorable response.

“Isn’t a film? Alright, then I’ll try one as well!”

He once more checked the store, and after determining there wasn’t any filming equipment, he turned back to look at Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng and Shu Yu’s reaction earlier made him feel that perhaps there was something special to this fried egg.

88 RMB was quite expensive, however, it wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to try one. He just wanted to a.s.sure that the two weren’t just acting
